  • the invention relates to a resource efficient aeroponic plant growingw ingtem and method.
  • Traditional horticulture or crop farming comprises farming systems that use soil as a solids-based, root-growth medium, and synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other continual inputs, intensive tillage, concentrated monoculture production and even irrigation.
  • Traditional horticulture is substantially dependent on the climate where the plants are grown.
  • Traditional horticulture has led to several ecological ramifications, including water pollution, due to chemical leaching, land degradation, in the form of erosion and soil compaction, substantial resource usage and an overall loss in biodiversity.
  • Hydroponic farming systems comprise systems wherein the soil as plant root-growth medium is substituted with a fluid-based, root-growth medium, by having the plant roots suspended in mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent medium.
  • the root systems are further supported physically with the use of an inert medium such as perlite, gravel or an expanded clay aggregate.
  • Hydroponic farming systems uses approximately 90% less water when compared to traditional (sol) horticulture. However, hydroponic systems still require substantial amounts of nutrients to be added to the water solvent, espedally in cases where the water solvent is recycled or rehabilitated in an effort to reduce water usage.
  • Aeroponic farming systems comprise systems wherein solids [e,g. soli], as root- growth medium, is substituted with an air-based (i.e. gaseous), root-growth medium, by having the plant roots suspended in an air or mist environment rather than soil or nutrient- rich water solvents.
  • air-based i.e. gaseous
  • root-growth medium by having the plant roots suspended in an air or mist environment rather than soil or nutrient- rich water solvents.
  • These systems typically suspend the plant roots with the assistance of a support medium into a lower, closed-air environment or chamber wherein nutrients and other sustenance (e.g. a nutrient-rich water solution) for the plant are sprayed or misted onto the suspended roots, while the leaves and the crown of the plants extend upwardly from the support-medium into an upper, open environment.
  • nutrients and other sustenance e.g. a nutrient-rich water solution
  • aeroponic farming is conducted without a solid s-based (e.g. soil) or liquid- based (e.g. nutrient-rich water solvent), root-growth medium.
  • the aeroponic conditions are deemed to advance plant development, health, growth, flowering and fruiting for any given plant species relative to traditional horticulture or hydroponic systems.
  • Aeroponic farming systems are typically applied in so-called “vertical farms” in urban or indoor environments wherein multiple rows or layers of aeroponic farming systems are stacked on top of each other due to the limited floor space or agricultural soil available in those areas. Examples of such systems include US Patent No.
  • Aeroponic farming systems provide a variety of desirable advantages over growing systems that employ a solids- of liquid-based, root-growth medium.
  • aeroponic systems are favoured over other methods due to increased oxygen delivery as a result of efficient nutrient solution aeration to plant roots, stimulating growth and helping to prevent pathogen formation.
  • Aeroponic growing is considered to be safe and ecologically friendly for producing natural, healthy plants and crops.
  • the main ecological advantages of aeroponics are the conservation of water and energy. When compared to hydroponics, aeroponic systems require relatively lower water and energy inputs per square meter of growing area. Additionally, these systems typically use less fertilizer compared to hydroponic farming systems due to aeroponic farming systems using less nutrient-enriched water.
  • conventional aeroponic systems stiil placed substantial loads on the energy and water resources and infrastructures, for purposes of lighting, heating and cooling as well as water, especially due to most systems being located indoors to benefit from the protection provided against fluctuating environmental conditions.
  • aeroponic farming systems are accordingly developed for and therefore applied indoors due to the sensitivity of the systems to external influences such as material temperature fluctuations, and hence the need for climate-controlled environments, typically using artificial light for photosynthesis and the subsequent cultivation of plants.
  • Indoor aeroponic systems do use a considerable amount of electricity to power the artificial lights, humidity- and temperature-controlling mechanisms.
